  Speaker 1: I sent this tweet to Ryan last week and I
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: was so excited to send it to him because I.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: You know when you can answer a question immediately, then
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: you assume that everybody's got an answer for this. So
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: please don't let me down, guys. I really hope that
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: everybody's got an answer to this. So the tweet says,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: nobody understands the bond between a millennial and the mediocre
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: movie their family just happened to own on VHS when
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: they're 12 years old. Guys, we all had that one movie, right?
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: And it was on cassette and no one was allowed
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: to tape over it. Like, you guys kept it so protected.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: It could have been free willy.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: For your family.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: For my family, there were two movies.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: Okay, go for it.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: It was Dirty.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Dancing and Passenger 57.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Passenger 57. What is that?
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Wesley Snipes.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: He's a retired cop.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Right. And there's an airline that is transporting a serial killer.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: But he's like high security, the serial killer. Charles Rain.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Charles Rain is not insane.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: So, he has a knack of escaping, and then he
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: does plastic surgery to change his face. And then he's
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: on the plane, and then he has hired two people
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: on the hostesses.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: They're part of the action. And then they have guns.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: in like, you know, like that little trolley that you're
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: pushing with the food. They've got guns in there.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: When they get to Charles Raid, the stewardess asks him, sir,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: how would you like your steak?
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And he says, bloody. Guns are out. Pew, pew, pew, pew.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: But now Wesley Snipes happens to be on the flight
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: and he saves the day.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: What?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Guys, Passage of 57. Damn good movie.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: And we had it on cassette. And we refused to
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: tape over it.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: For us, the only reason I know this is because
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: my sister was obsessed with this movie. Which is why
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: I've watched it 10,000 times.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: On cassette?
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: On cassette. Because it was the VHS.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: We had it. And every once a week, it would
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: come out.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Chris.

  Speaker 4: after week after week. Whenever there's a bored moment, let's
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: watch something.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Guys, we were our own Netflix. We would whip out
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: our own cassettes and watch our own movies.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Did you guys have a movie to begin with?
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Two, sadly.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Yes.

• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the first one.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Because remember that we were about two installments in.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: We have five now, but the real ones are the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: first one and the second one.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Yes. The one at Nagasaki Towers.

  Speaker 1: But I remember.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: My brother's handwriting being diehard and me calling him, what's diehard? Diehard. Yes. Yes.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Anyway, mine that I was very protective of was Clueless. Oh.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I loved Clueless, so nobody was allowed to record over that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Rolling with my homies. I think somebody recorded over my 21st.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Probably recorded over my brother's 21st. But never Clueless. But
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: we had all the seasons of Friends as well. You
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: guys had a lot of VHS. We had a lot. Guys,

  Speaker 1: We've told you ours. Tell us yours.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: What is the movie that your family recorded? And you
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: usually recorded it off Mnet. Because you'd look on the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: TV guide. You're like, ooh, Dirty Dancing is going to play.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: And then you'd sit there.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: And you're ready. And as soon as it started playing,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you'd press record. And now you have it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: So you didn't have to rely on Mnet to play
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: it or going to the video shop to hire it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: We.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: My friend came over. They had a VHS. And then
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: we would put them together. And then you'd go to
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: the video shop, right? And you'd get like the X-Files.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: And then we would record the X-Files on the other
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: one while we're watching it.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: You bootleggers.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: So we can have it on our own copy.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: So then you can have it now. Then you don't
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: have to pay 20 Rand to hire it.

  Speaker 4: For the day.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Bootleggers.
